Answer:
The correct answer to the question is: the level of liquid in Side A will rise.
Explanation:
- Sucrose is formed of two molecules of glucose but the membrane is impermeable to it.
- The given membrane is said to be permeable to water and glucose.
- Through a semi-permeable membrane, molecules tend to move from a region where its concentration is high to another region where its concentration is low by the process of diffusion until its concentration in the two regions becomes equal. This phenomenon is known as Osmosis.
- Concentration gradient of a molecule can be defined as the difference in the concentration of the molecule in two different regions separated by a semi-permeable membrane.
- Considering glucose, the concentration of glucose is low in side A (1M) and high in side B (2M), so it will tend to move from side B to side A down its concentration gradient.
- Considering sucrose, although its concentration is high in side A (2M) but low in side B (1M), it is unable to move as the membrane is impermeable to it.
- Water tend to move from a region where the concentration of solute is low (or water concentration is high) to a region where the concentration of solute is high (or water concentration is low).
- Due to the movement of glucose from side B to side A, the concentration of total solute concentration becomes high in side A as compared to side B. Therefore, water would move from side B to side A.
- Hence the level of liquid in Side A will rise after sometime.
Complete question:
Two species of closely related frogs are found in the same pond high in the Andes of South America. Both species only have teeth on the top jaw. One has small teeth for holding small live prey prior to swallowing. The other species has very large sharp teeth for injuring and killing large prey prior to biting off pieces of flesh for consumption. The above is an example of:
- Directional selection
- Analogous structures
- Character displacement
- Hybridization
- Vestigial structures
Answer:
Explanation:
Competition is an ecological and evolutive process very common in nature. Competition might be intra- or interspecific. Competition between different species in a community or ecosystem might be due to the same resource use, or the same territory, shelter, etcetera. When a resource is useful for two or more species, and limited, they compete to gain it.
The principle of competitive exclusion states that different species with the same requirements sharing the niche can not coexist indefinitely based on the same limited resource. When <u>two competing species coexist, this is because of niche partitioning or niche differentiation</u>.
Differentiation of effective niche is closely related to <u>character displacement.</u>
<u>Character displacement</u> is the result of interspecific competition, in which two or more species that live in the same habitat manage to avoid competition by developing different traits. Morphological divergence, or any adaptative trait development, fixated genetically, is the product of niche segregation. Species tend to differentiate morphologically in the presence of strong competitors. Traits divergence favors coexistence in the same place.
In the exposed example, both species live in the same pond. But to avoid competition and competitive exclusion, species developed different teeth sizes to feed on different prey items.
Density is mass of object per unit volume
